China Unicom Replaces Cisco Devices Over Security Concerns
October 27th, 2012Via: Morning Whistle:
China Unicom has replaced Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ.CSCO) in one of the country’s most important backbone networks, citing security reasons, the 21st Century Business Herald reported.
The replacement project targets “China169,” Cisco’s backbone network router of Wuxi node, in Jiangsu province. Analysts indicated that the product vulnerability and back door problems are the main worries of China Unicom.
The move came after a congressional report branded Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. and ZTE Corp. security threats in the United States. Chinese domestic operators have begun to intensify network security since then, the report said.
